I had the privilege to discuss the evolution and relevance of Quantitative Investment Strategies (QIS) at the #JPMorganGlobalMarketsConference in Paris. A big thanks to Arnaud Jobert or the invite and to fellow panelists Tatjana Xenia Puhan and Matthew Yeah for the engaging conversation!   Navigating a Complex Market Today's environment presents unique challenges: high and/or rising rates, geopolitical tensions, and concentrated equity markets. This is where liquid alternatives shine, offering diversification with uncorrelated return streams. Combining orthogonal return drivers with positive expected return can create resilient portfolios with very attractive risk-adjusted returns.   Discretionary Reliable Defense Our panel emphasized the need for reliable portfolio protection. However, traditional protection and systematic defense strategies are often limited, given their reliance on past correlations. This is where discretionary defense comes in. In our soon-to-be-launched Global Macro Strategy, we implement a proven approach to discretionary defense, similar to what we've effectively used for years. This approach aims to deliver cheaper, more efficient, and reliable protection.   A Dynamic QIS Landscape The discussion highlighted the ever-evolving QIS landscape, marked by rapid transformation and a growing focus on innovation. The future of QIS is brighter than ever!   "You can't predict. You can prepare." - Howard Marks #Alternatives #Liquidity #Quant #Diversification

Covid-19 was one of the biggest challenges society has faced, and its impact on families was deeply felt. For our Portfolio Management course with Professor Grégoire Hug, Nicolò Busatto, Giovanni Fontana, Edoardo Nave, and I decided to focus on this critical issue by designing a portfolio strategy to mitigate financial risks during pandemics: the 𝗔𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗱. In Greek mythology, the aegis was the shield of Zeus and the protective cloak of Athena, symbolizing wisdom, strategy, and strength. 📜 Inspired by these qualities, the Aegis Fund is designed to: • 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗨𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘆: Providing protection during pandemics.🛡️ • 𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆: Utilizing health metrics to guide timely portfolio shifts. 🔄📊 • 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘆: Outperform benchmarks like the MSCI ACWI through strategic allocations during crises. 🚀 The fund dynamically transitions to sectors like commodities, healthcare, biotech, logistics, and energy during pandemics. The switching mechanism is driven by health metrics such as mortality and reproduction rates, and vaccination progress, ensuring resilience in challenging times. Special thanks to Martina Quagliata and Miles Minio for their invaluable insights into COVID-19 data and health metrics, which helped refine the fund’s framework. 🙌 This project exemplifies how finance can be a tool for adaptability and protection in uncertain times. 💼✨ #PortfolioManagement #Finance #RiskManagement #Teamwork #QuantitativeFinance #Innovation
